Systematic Increase

Regardless of what financial position you may find yourself in currently, your financial life can take a shift and move you in the direction you desire. You have built within you right now the potential to change your economic future.

I want to introduce a concept that has been going over in my mind and that is the concept of systematic increase. We must understand that increase is progressive as well as systematic. There is a system of poverty. There is a system of wealth. We must understand the financial system and how it works. We must develop systematic thinking that corresponds to the life we desire. Systematic thinking involves a formulation of coherent ideas or principles that is presented in a methodical plan or procedure marked by thoroughness or regularity. Systematic thinking brings order out of chaos as a result of new thought patterns

Regardless of what financial position you may find yourself in currently, your financial life can take a shift and move you in the direction you desire. You have built within you right now the potential to change your economic future.

It would be wonderful if we would just get a prophetic word that by this time tomorrow we would meet a millionaire and they just give us big fat check that will cause us to move out of poverty into overflow. Or, even better yet, you finally hit the lotto! This type of thinking reveals a fantasy, bailout mentality. Yes, God could do that but, you really wouldn‚??t appreciate the process that God took you through.

We would be no better than the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt with all kinds of gold, silver. Yet in a short period of time, they took the same gold that the Egyptian woman had given them, and melted it down and created a golden calf. They just wasted the favor God had given them. How many times have we wasted the favor God has given us?

There were three different phases of the children of Israel's spiritual development. First, they were in Egypt, the place of bondage. Living under that regime of Pharaoh. Secondly, they were in the wilderness for 40 years. This was a time of preparation of testing. Lastly, they finally reached the land of Canaan. The place of overflow. The place of fulfillment of the dreams, destiny and promises.

These were three various systems that they found themselves in. The first system, while they were in Egypt, is what I call ‚??not enough‚?Ě. The second system, when they were in the wilderness, is ‚?? just enough‚?Ě. The last system is when they moved into Canaan, that last system is ‚??more than enough‚?Ě. This is why increase is systematic as well as progressive. They didn‚??t just go from Egypt to the promise overnight. They had to be developed. God is more con concerned about your development than about you just having more money.

If you desire to move out of one system to another you must be willing to be challenged without being offended, especially in your thinking. Every system has a mindset, its own language. You must be challenged because you have adapted to living in that way, thinking in that way, surviving in that way, functioning in that way. New concepts must be introduced to your mind and adapted into your lifestyle before you see the manifestation.

To break out of your circumstance, you must break out of the system. Breaking out of the system requires you to first break out of old faulty thought patterns that has been ingrained in you for your entire life.

Let me give you some practical things you can begin to do to provoke change.

The Spirit of the Lord has been speaking to me about the financial increase that is going to come upon the body of Christ. I am convinced that God is positioning His people for a tremendous financial increase. When darkness covered Egypt there was still light in Goshen. When our nation is struggling financially, God is going to financially bless His people with favor.

Has the fires on the altars in America gone out? Altars without fire is like going to Church without God showing up. We end up having performances of personalities on display rather than offering ourselves as living sacrifices on altars of fire.There must be a perpetual flame! This flame of fire must first be on the altar of our hearts. Our hearts must begin to burn again for God's presence.

Throughout this year I have teaching on the Laws of Increase. I realize that many people have their own personal reasons why they have not been able to increase in their life. However, No matter who you are or what your situation.
